We have recently implemented a new VPN Connection using Juniper Network and ActivIdentity 4TRESS 'soft' tokens - The tokens are retreived using an app on a smartphone or via the web. It is working for Web, Android, iPhone and Blackberry fine, problem is the app for Windows phone is JAVA based so we need to be able to put JAVA on the Windows Phones as it is no longer included by default. Any help greatly appreciated

Are you sure you're looking for Java and not Javascript? The two aren't even remotely close to the same thing.

As of January 2, Java wasn't supported on Windows Phone 8. I also don't see Java listed in Google Play as available for Android, and a quick visit to java.com from the browser (Firefox AND Chrome) on my Droid Razr (running Android 4.1.2) tells me that the Java plug-in isn't supported on my device. In fact, the Java site itself specifically says ONLY Windows, Mac OS, and Linux are supported.

Based on this, I'm not sure the VPN client for Windows Phone actually is Java-based. If it's working on other platforms, check with the developer for a version for Windows Phone. If such is available, it will be in the Windows Store.

It is JAVA I am looking for as the app requires J2ME to run - the app has been created on iOS, Android and Blackberry without the need for JAVA. They do not seem to have developed it properly for Windows 8 Mobile though - they have the app but when you run it on a Windows phone it says it requires JAVA to run.

Java is a major APP base for those platforms. it just runs in the background. as far as winmo 8 goes i would check with the vendor about the issue to see if they support it and what steps are required if they do. Looking at the ActivIdentity 4TRESS website, It does not state that it support win8 phones. only the Windows OS (they are different enough.) you may be SOL with using them for any win8 phone users.

﻿how to install wp on 8 java application? whether there is a program for wp8 that would create on your phone or tablet under wp 8 virtual machine android, bud, symbian, windows mobile and so on .... that support java?
